Which Reptile Park is that, and what is that ven that guy is free-handling?



Hix

 

[salebrosus]

Hix that ven is a RBBS i think (he wouldn't do that with the Spotted black). It is SNAKES DOWNUNDER at Childers and the park is fantastic. As for the vens- they continually remind people not to do this at home, etc etc and if the kids aren't listening then they remind the parents to tell the kids not to attempt to pick up snakes. They are just trying to make people realise they really arent bad. It really is a great show-i'd love an APS get together there.

Oh aby the way, top shots EIROC!!!!! Keep them coming,

Simone.

As Simone said, it is an RBB, and I agree, the park is well worth the visit. The RBB has been handled like that pretty much everyday and is now 16 years old. Apparently she has never struck at anybody. She was crawling all over him and even around his neck, just like a carpet python. But as Simone said they are very conscious about telling people the dangers etc of snakes in Aus. I was totally inspired by this place and how lucky he is to have a park like that as his own back yard. I'm sure we have some more pics, I'll have a dig around and see what I can find on Eirocs computer while he's at work, hehe.

[Inkslinger]

Fantastic shots

 

[tan]

I lied, two more

 

[tan]

I can't remember which two the above were but I think the second was labelled an inland but i remember thinking it resembled more of an eastern brown because it had a speckled underbody. However, I can't be sure so those who might know, feel free to comment.

Oh my god tan, that shot of Dave the Perentie is spectacular........ It really shows him in his true form. I love it when he struts up and down his pit- he know's he is gorgeous too!

I've been to the park 3 times and will go again when my family come up for the hols. They really are top keepers. Jamie and Ian's shows are great.

Did Macca the Croc put on a good show for you or did he do the ballet (gentle rolls) thats he does when i'm there lol?

Simone.

Great pics Tan & Eiroc

Looks like you had an awesome time...

 

[tan]

Haha, no croc ballets but those lizards and monitors sure love posing for the camera! It makes it easy to take a nice pic when they pose for you. I think hubby actually took the perentie pic, I just cropped it for him. It is a lovely park, I would have liked more time but we were driving through to Bris, so we had a fly by visit.
